Pros

We are a big company, so you can come across smart and talented people every now and then. Location is nice - Portland is a growing city that hasn't lost its small town feel. IT people are doing a great job and are very responsive to your needs.

Cons

Low salary. Outdated processes. Lack of creativity among the older generation of managers. No growth. Many employees work here not because they want to, but because they feel they have nowhere else to go. Lots of meetings that make no sense. People keep leaving the company.

Pros

Nice people, many have worked there 20+ years. Job was never very hard or challenging. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Not a good strategic plan, old policies, and processes that don't promote growth, flat org that gives people nowhere to go after they work their way from entry level.
